Fallout 3 Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Misc. Notes

  • 1 of 7: There's a footlocker next to the passenger cot on the riverboat that's a great place to stash items you want to keep for later. You can make stashes in any containers in Point Lookout, but the footlocker will automatically travel with you back to the Capital Wasteland, making it more convenient for hauling loot back there.
  • 2 of 7: If you go all the way to the top of the Point Lookout Lighthouse (location 5 on the World Map) and check the lighthouse mechanism, you'll see that its two big light bulbs are broken.
  • 3 of 7: Haley at Haley's Hardware (location 9) is the best repair guy in the area, especially since there's a glitch that may allow you to get him to repair things up to 65%.
  • 4 of 7: There are nine large, rusty metal buoys scattered about the ocean, marking the locations of sunken ships and other things. They're all marked on my world map with B's. When you find a buoy, dive straight down from it to find some loot. (And watch your oxygen indicator!)
  • 5 of 7: There are three small groups of burial mounds in the swamp areas that you can raid for random loot. They're all marked on the world map with C's.
  • 6 of 7: There's a kid named Kenny who's taken up residence in the Herzog Mine (location 28).
  • 7 of 7: Once you start on the "Hearing Voices" quest, you'll be able to arrange for free riverboat passage from then on. See the hints in that quest's second objective for all the details.
